derek guy on X: "even aside from the political misinformation and online problems this creates, this sort of tech opens the floodgates for a new form of scamming we're prob not ready for. tons of people getting scammed out of their life savings bc they thought their son called them" / X even aside from the political misinformation and online problems this creates, this sort of tech opens the floodgates for a new form of scamming we're prob not ready for. tons of people getting scammed out of their life savings bc they thought their son called them

Why are we doing this to ourselves? Weโ€™re allowing huge data centers to be built that use city size chunks of electricity and water that will drive up prices for both and eliminate jobs. And donโ€™t we see enough disinformation without it being so convincing?

So wait, Trump โ€œcut a dealโ€ with China to: buy the soybeans they were already buying before the trade war, but now China gets advanced AI chips too?? Where is the win??

Johnson and Rollins are withholding food support to prevent the restoration of health care credits that make it affordable. They know this is nonnegotiable and so they can continue to hide the EPSTEIN FILES.

I don't. That's a generalization. I had candid, opem, friendly conversations and at no time did I feel like anyone was doing that. Europeans are smart enough to understand that not all Americans are the same. And certainly neither are all Europeans.

I was in London and Paris two months ago and had many conversations with locals and everyone was friendly to us.

A man who spent 43 years in prison before his conviction was overturned now faces deportation A Pennsylvania man whose murder conviction was overturned after he served 43 years in prison hoped to walk free this month, but instead found himself in immigration custody

Heartlessness and cruelty is the point with the Resident Rump regime.

As an agnostic, I wish more would quote from the Sermon in the Mount. One doesn't have to believe in deification to appreciate great humanistic philosophy.

I'm not disagreeing with your diagnosis of the situation. I just think that Canadians think we're a relatively smaller homogeneous country like they are and we're really more like the Balkans only huge. If you understand the term balkanization, you'll know what I'm talking about.

But the government is already shut down because MAGA doesn't want people to have affordable heath care. And how do we get the entire country to go on strike? We're divided here. California has Prop 50. That's fighting back.

We just had a huge turnout for the No Kings rally. There will be more and we're trying to win back the House of Representatives. What else would a Canadian do? What exactly does "full uprising mode" mean?

That's an overgeneralization. Some things are that simple. Didn't you blame the entire problem on Hamas and the IDF? You may be right which indicates that some things are simple, right?

What was simple is that Rump & Co has had eyes on Gaza while Biden and Kamala do not.

I've told you the difference in her abilities to restrain and withdraw financial support before and after the election. Read what I wrote or don't. I don't trust left wing populists any more that I do MAGA.
